I received word the first book I ever wrote for myself is now a finalist in the 2019 TopShelf Indie Book Awards. This is extra special to me as this is the first contest into which I have ever entered my writing. To have my first book become a finalist in the first contest I entered, it is beyond thrilling!

​

The good news just keeps going. The judges were so impressed with my book, they nominated it for the 2020 TopShelf Indie Book Awards because they thought it deserved a second chance to win first place. Maybe you should get your copy today and see what all the fuss is about.

October 26th & 27th, I gave away the eBook version of Into the West: The Orphan Train free on Amazon.com. My book quickly made it onto the Best Sellers lists in not just one but in two categories. The book topped out at #41 in American Literature, #16 in Westerns, and all the way to #1,023 in all free eBooks in the Kindle Store. Considering how many eBooks are available everyday in the Kindle Store, that is an incredible achievement and I would never have been able to do it without the support of my followers! Thank you!
